VINYASA YOGA: Flow in and out of sun salutations utilizing dynamic breathing, long-holding postures while working every part of your body. This class will build strength, tone and detoxify the body.

RESTORATIVE YOGA:We’ll slow it down to deepen our practice, sink into our postures (and really feel that stretch!); this class is what yoga’s all about. We’ll release tension in our bodies and quiet our minds so we can rest in the present moment, finding peace within. Your body will thank you and you can feel good knowing yoga has been shown to alleviate symptoms of depression and fatigue, as well as lower cortisol levels associated with weight gain, high blood pressure and heart disease.
